E-rx.onlineUnderstanding Acute Gastroenteritis
Acute gastroenteritis is a short-lived inflammation of the stomach and intestines, typically caused by a virus, bacteria or parasite. People call it a stomach bug, holiday tummy, food poisoning or traveller’s diarrhoea, and it normally clears up in a few days.
Common Triggers
Contaminated food or water, undercooked meat, shellfish, unwashed salads, ice in drinks, or contact with someone who is already ill. Hot weather lets bacteria multiply quickly, which is why it is frequent on summer holidays.
How Acute Gastroenteritis Feels
- Nausea and vomiting
- Watery diarrhoea
- Headache, tiredness and muscle aches

Sunbeds, hotel pools and buffet counters define a stay in Kundu, and they are also where holiday illnesses usually begin. Nearby you will also find Colakli, Gundogdu, Kumkoy. All-inclusive buffets sit out in the heat for hours, so tummy bugs spread rapidly through resort hotels. Tell your hotel if you are ill, and stay out of the pool until you have been symptom-free for 48 hours.
Avoiding Acute Gastroenteritis on Holiday
Wash hands before eating, choose food that is freshly cooked and served hot, drink sealed or bottled water, and be cautious with salads and ice if you are unsure of their source.
